Red Sox Pitchers and Catchers Report to Spring Training

The diamond’s glisten, the bat’s thwack, and the glove’s snap are finally around the corner.

If winter has you feeling down and out, and the end of the NFL season left a Tom Brady-shaped hole in your sports-loving heart, then the Red Sox are here to be your knights in Under Armour. Pitchers and catchers officially reported to JetBlue Park down in Fort Myers on Tuesday, marking the start of the squad’s 2018 quest for a ninth World Series ring.

The team is actively sharing dispatches from Spring Training on its Instagram, and though it may just be some handy filter work, things are looking pretty bright for the Sox down in Florida. Alex Cora’s team clearly knows summer bodies are made in winter, and we’re crossing our fingers that the model behavior on display in these Insta masterpieces translates to the field.

Mookie Betts showed off a strut that is clearly runway—and Fenway—ready.
